Yes. I bought enough booze to have one for each of you. :y

But wait, I hear you say, you cant possibly drink 6000+ shots over the holiday period.

You are quite correct, I dont drink. But, then again, I have no 'buddies' either. :P

About £300 so far on presents, plus still got the Mrs and one of my lads to get....

Plus £140 for 2 return trips to Caernarfon Boxing Day and New Years Eve to pick up and take back my other lad.....

Surprisingly cheap considering the size of our family !!!!

Actually,the purpose was for a bit of sharing. I am absolutely broke at the moment trying to rob Peter to pay Paul. Its sometimes nice to know that you're not alone and in the same boat. I dread Christmas every year for this very reason.

Cost of Christmas so far: zero.

I have neither income nor savings so I am financially completely dependent on my wife.  I think it's costing her a bomb. :) :) :)

This year has cost us zilch:  Food care of Tesco cardholder points saved up  over the year and pressies care of various internet survey sites and shopping panels  ;D

Very little

Some extra food but not much

Presents from vouchers earned by doing surveys

Sod all, Bah Humbug......



Since the kids (my sisters) have grown up we dont have much to do with christmas as it is really for the kids.

So nothing at all on pressies, bought a bit extra food in as the shops will be getting in short supply of the basics.

Plus am not allowed to drink due to medication (Not that I drink much any way.)  So all I hope for now is some good TV.

I took the easy option this year  :y
All the adults i buy for, are getting either M and S vouchers or WH Smiths vouchers. The kids i buy for are getting cash.

A couple of other relatives are getting bottles of wine.

Holly on the other hand.....will have to wait until after Crimbo for her main prezzie....coz what i originally ordered for her turned up today....its too bl**dy small  :-[ . So ive just ordered the 'correct' size on the internet.....but it wont turn up until after Crimbo  :(
